Hi there
ive recently bought a currie electrodrive kit and im really happy with it
but like many here i want a bit more speed
my bike is an old steel kona on 2.00 slick tyres.
first of all im going to shorten the cable runs
change to deans connecters to get the most out of the system
is there anything else i can do before i actually upgrade the kit that will help get the most out of it?
the kit i have is the newer brushed version its 24v and apparently does about 17-18mph on the flat
i have heard that it can be overvolted to 36v - infact the upgrade path seems to show the same motor is used
for a 36v system
so what do i need to do to upgrade to 36v
obviously i need a new controller an extra battery and a charger
i need battery to last 7miles before charging - the route has moderate hills and ill be assisting the motor about a 1/3 of the time
so id like to remove the batteries and use something smaller if possable
basicly im just looking for advice on what to get i want low price but good reliability
as this bike is for daily commuting
i know knoxie has used one of these for years so im guessing hes the guy who knows
